To the family of Helen Anderson, I worked w/Helen at the Job Center for a long time. She was most helpful to me in learning what I needed to do to help the clients t the Job Center. She was a compassionate helper to clients, as she was all the people who worked w/in the Job Center. She was most often very happy, but when needed couold be stern in helping clients. What a friend to all. Helen will be missed by, most of all, her family, her friends.
It was my honor & joy to have taken care of Charlie & Helen while they lived at home !!! I will treasure my memories of them & their sweet family !!! My deepest sympathies to all of you !!!!
